AceShowbiz - Brie Garcia is finding it difficult to maintain her composure amid her twin sister Nikki Garcia's turbulent divorce from Artem Chigvintsev. On a recent episode of their joint podcast, "The Nikki & Brie Show," Brie confessed to experiencing deep sadness and sleepless nights.

"I have felt sadness in ways that maybe death could compare. I literally have lost sleep," she revealed. "I lay in my bed with my eyes open, and I think and I just think and think, and I think of so many different things."

Though Brie refrained from divulging specifics, it is clear that Nikki's ongoing legal battles are a significant source of her distress. Nikki recently obtained a restraining order against Chigvintsev, following an incident in August where she claims he tackled her multiple times, causing serious concerns for their 4-year-old son Matteo's safety.

In response, Brie has taken to the podcast to discuss how witnessing trauma has impacted her mental state, saying, "When you're trying to hold it together, trauma is a different beast. I've looked at trauma in the face over the last week and it has been so hard."

The accusations from both Nikki and Artem paint a picture of a fraught relationship. In Artem's legal filings, he asserted that Nikki was the aggressor, submitting photos of his injuries as evidence. His attorney, Ilona Antonyan, stated that Artem was seeking protection from Nikki's persistent aggression, emphasizing his primary concern was for their son Matteo's welfare.

Nikki is seeking full custody of their child and demanding Artem undergo therapy and anger management while Artem wants a joint custody.

These intense and conflicting accusations have brought significant media attention to their case, overshadowing the couple's otherwise private struggles. Amid the turmoil, Brie encouraged listeners who might be in similar situations to take control of their circumstances. "If you are in a situation that is toxic, that is not good, time to say game over. Please, please do that," she urged, offering support to victims of trauma.

The divorce proceedings are ongoing, with crucial decisions about custody and support still pending. As both Nikki and Artem navigate this challenging period, the implications for their personal and public lives continue to unfold. For now, Brie remains a vocal supporter of her sister, urging moral accountability and offering heartfelt empathy to those dealing with similar struggles.
